Abstract
Characteristics of car traffic flow are explained from the interacting behaviour of individual cars. Firstly, the z-sense introduced in a preceding paper (Part I) is extensively used as a kind of distance between a car and other cars or obstacles to explain the driving modes other than “following” and “defence”. Secondly, a backward territory of the car is introduced after the similar manner as in the case of the forward territory, to discuss the interaction between cars. Thus, the driving behaviour of an individual car is formulated by a combination of driving modes according to the interval between cars and to traffic circumstances. Thirdly, car platoon behaviour is simulated by a concatenation of the individual behaviour model. Finally, steady traffic flow is studied as a combination of steady states of the proper driving modes according to the traffic density.
